Dear Anglers,
This year has been an extraordinary one for us, as we turned two of our long-standing dreams into reality. The Ocean Update, an idea we envisioned from the very beginning, introduced the vast open seas and the Fishing Together feature, allowing friends to fish side by side on the same boat. Additionally, we finally brought the Dnipro River—our home location—to life, a cherished project that had been long overdue.

Over the past year, so much has happened in Fishing Planet:
🎣 The Club Leagues Season, which, despite its challenges, still brought many players together.
🏆 11 thrilling tournaments and thousands of competitions.
🎃 A brand-new Halloween Event that was both challenging and exciting.
🛠️ 10 major bug-fix patches across 7 platforms, improving the game experience.
🌊 Saltwater and freshwater trolling were introduced to the game.
🛥️ Hundreds of new items, from saltwater yachts to a variety of new tackle, outfits, event items and rewards.

Someone joked that "Fishing Planet was cooking this year," and they weren’t wrong—but what we want you to know is that this was just the appetizer! There’s so much more in store for next year, and we can’t wait to share it with you.

We are deeply grateful for your support and feedback, which drives us to keep improving and growing. While some features take longer to implement and not everything may be possible immediately, we want you to know that we are always listening and doing our best to enhance the game for you.

As we wrap up this year, we wish you and your loved ones a joyful and peaceful holiday season. May your Christmas be filled with warmth and happiness, and may the New Year bring you success, good health, and, of course, plenty of unique catches!

Thank you for being part of our amazing community. Here’s to an even more exciting 2025, together!

Tight lines and yours faithfully,
The Fishing Planet Team

Hey Anglers,

This Tournament is all about size—Trophy-sized monsters like Trout, Pike, Salmon, Catfish, and more! Register now and check the Tournament Tab in the game for all the details, including the schedule and rules.

Also, don’t forget to review the Competitive activities rules[fishingplanet.com] before registering. A quick reminder: only one Fishing Planet account is allowed per device during tournaments. If you’re playing with family, ensure each member has their own device to participate.

Don’t miss your chance to get the Christmas Giant’s Pack, packed with all the gear and licenses you’ll need for the ultimate fishing adventure.

Good luck, and may the biggest catch be yours! Merry Fishmas!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/730611/Fishing_Planet_Christmas_Giants_Pack/

Hey Anglers,
We’re here to announce that the Christmas Giant’s Tour is coming next week, with registration starting on December 23rd and the Final on December 29th!

First, we want to address the timing. We know Christmas week is family time, and holding a tournament then isn’t ideal. Unfortunately, due to the release of the new map, there was no other option. Canceling the tournament wasn’t something we wanted, as we know how important it is to many of you. We truly appreciate your understanding.

Now, let’s talk about the recent changes to competitions and tournaments.
Over the past few months, we’ve introduced updates to the weather mechanics, significantly impacting how competitions work. In the past, knowing all the best fishing spots in a competition would almost guarantee success. However, with these updates, weather patterns and fish migration now play a much larger role. This means that familiar spots might perform differently depending on the conditions.

When these changes were implemented, we didn’t immediately communicate them to the community. Competitions have always been designed as an aspect of the game where players discover and refine strategies through personal exploration. However, we’ve since realized that many players perceive these updates as a malfunction or unintended issue. To clear up any confusion: these adjustments were intentional and aimed at introducing diversity and keeping the experience fresh.

The good news is that you can still learn and adapt! Understanding how fish migrate under different weather conditions adds an exciting new layer of strategy to the game. We believe this adjustment creates an opportunity for players who’ve mastered the game to engage with new challenges, fostering continuous exploration and rewarding effort in novel ways.

We hope this evolution in gameplay keeps your fishing adventures intriguing and offers new milestones to achieve. Keep honing your skills and embracing the thrill of discovery—it’s all part of the journey.
Tight lines!

Ho Ho Ho Anglers,
Cast your cheer—may the fish be biting all through the year!

For everyone who’s been asking, “When?”—the wait is over! Christmas has officially landed on our Planet, and it’s here to stay for almost three festive weeks. This year, you can dive into the Christmas Holiday and the Krampus Hunt missions, or double down and take on both!

The Christmas event starts on December 19th 3 PM UTC and will last until January 6th 10 AM UTC.


Oh man! Santa’s sleigh’s in trouble again! A snowstorm wrecked his ride somewhere over Canada—luckily, Santa’s fine, but his reindeer are MIA and presents are scattered all over the globe!

Join in to save Christmas—find the lost presents, track down the mythical Crystal Burbot, and complete holiday challenges! Don’t forget to search for those Present boxes on every waterway and grab some Fireworks for the holidays!

Head over to White Moose Lake, recover Santa’s gift bag, and get those presents back in time for Christmas! Santa’s counting on you, and he’s running out of time!
Catch a required amount of Antlered Salmon to harness them in Santa’s sleigh instead of his runaway reindeer. Keep in mind that Antlered Salmon bite best when someone launches fireworks.

Explore the waterways by boat and help Santa fill his bag with lost gifts! Once you arrive at waterways, find Santa's bag on the pier to get started with the task of collecting boxes with presents.

You’ll find Green boxes on Emerald Lake, Blue boxes on Falcon Lake, White boxes on Tiber River, and Red boxes on White Moose Lake.

And don’t forget to interact with the Gift Boxes to get some Holiday treats for you!

Catch Decorator Fish to find lost decorations and deck the tree! The more fireworks you set off, the higher your chance of catching these festive fish.

And don't forget about the snow fights!
Hit a certain number of players with Snowballs to earn a special achievement.

Interact with the Snow Piles to get some snow or use the Snow Grounbait mix to make snowballs for the fights. Ready, set, aim—and dive into the game!

You can also try to complete the Fishy Racing challenge and get Elven Kayak as a prize!

Uh-oh! Now we've got another misfortune on our hands! The mischievous elderly Krampus fish have stolen Santa's glasses, beard, and hat and are causing mayhem in the nearby waters. Our Brave Angler will have to track down these troublesome fish, capture them, and return Santa's stolen items.

To catch them, you'll need to question their accomplices—fish who, for some reason, decided to tag along and cause chaos. Be wary though—these fish have a knack for lying, so you’ll need to catch a fair number of them to get the truth. Get your rods ready, it’s time for some fishing justice!

And don’t forget to keep an eye for the Christmas Socks with some treats for you.

If you take a couple of Ginger Cookies and infuse them with a bit of holiday magic, you'll create the perfect bait! These Christmas-themed treats have been transformed into a powerful fishing tool. Use our special X-Mas Pastry baits for a better catch, offering something for every angler's taste.

These amazing Christmas sweets will help you catch Krampus Fish: Unlucky Krampus Tarpon, Clumsy Krampus Eel, Crumbling Krampus Payara.

You can track down the thieves by following their minions, who can be lured using special bait treats, sweet pastry groundbait, and magical jukeboxes. These unique baits will attract the mischievous accomplices, making it easier for you to capture the stolen items and restore peace!

Activate Jukeboxes using Christmas tokens, which can be earned by completing event missions or by checking Christmas Socks.

If you complete the event, you'll be generously rewarded with exclusive Christmas gifts, featuring one-of-a-kind in-game items that are sure to add some extra holiday cheer to your adventure!

Welcome to the Dnipro River, Ukraine, a new Level 46 location on Fishing Planet, and a place near and dear to the hearts of the game's developers!

32 fish species, including well-known favorites such as Carp, Northern Pike, European Perch, Zander, Wels Catfish, Grass Carp, Silver Carp, and the iconic Beluga. And new to the game, White-Eye Bream, Common Nase, Sterlet, European Weatherfish, Chinese Sleeper, rare and valuable Black Sea Roach and locals’ favorite Azov Shad.

Freshwater trolling is finally here and it is available at all the locations in the game! Set out on the brand-new Dnipro motorboat, or give trolling a try with the rental boat available right at Dnipro River.

Troll for Wels Catfish, Northern Pike and Zander and see how these mighty predators love the brand new Twerky Runner lures! An interesting fact about how Ukrainian anglers fish for Wels Catfish is that it is caught in these areas by trolling at night, while in other countries it is usually caught from the shore.

Grab the Dnipro Delta Pack and set off in the Dnipro Motorboat, complete with two rod holders for trolling. Get two durable casting and spinning setups, a full range of tackles and lures, and a stylish outfit adorned with traditional designs. Enjoy a 30-day fishing trip on the Dnipro River, surrounded by serene water lilies and willows, with license and Premium account covered!

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3351850/Fishing_Planet_Dnipro_Delta_Pack/

Discover new baits that are favorites among Ukrainian anglers, including Salo, Mamaliga, and Corn Sticks. And don’t miss the irresistible new groundbaits—featuring flavors like gingerbread and baked milk—that will have the fish biting and, who knows, maybe even make your mouth water too!

New lures, like Twerky Runners, Cicadas, Freaky Walkers, Bionic Slugs and Thorn Jig Heads, including a barbless one will be a pleasure to use for the local predators.

As in every new location, you get plenty of new missions and achievements, 4 new competitions and even two Monster missions! The Sturgeon Leviathan returns, alongside a brand-new threat, the Thorn-Ripper, waiting to be defeated.

Please, note some updates on other locations: European Weatherfish was also added to Lesni Villa, Czech Republic, and another addition to this update, driven by player requests, will be the ability to take Beluga at the Dnipro River. Similarly, we’ve made this option available for European Eel at the Tiber River, Ghent-Terneuzen Canal, and Sander Baggersee Lake. Since these species are endangered in real life, we’ve made them available to take in the game, ensuring no harm to the planet while still offering players the chance to experience the thrill of keeping them virtually. Be aware that this option is available for anglers with Advanced Licenses.

https://youtu.be/T2jQpi02r5s

Go ahead and start exploring the new map, or bear with us for the second part, which is equally important for players. We've resolved a number of issues, including the much-anticipated fix for the bass boat shaking bug, when the screen was shaking after hitting an object when driving a bass boat. Additionally, in response to feedback from players with special hearing needs, we've adjusted the Hell Bell sound, lowering its frequency to ensure that everyone can hear it clearly and comfortably.

Another exciting new feature is the redesigned UI for the Competitions rules section. Players will now be able to easily see the equipment, lures, or baits required for each competition, and if they are already equipped in the inventory, a green check will appear next to them. This feature is just the first iteration and will be refined in future updates, but we hope this small change will enhance the player experience by reducing confusion and making it easier to prepare for competitions.

One particularly amusing issue that has now been addressed involved extending the field for the credits balance. This adjustment became necessary because one of our players achieved the maximum possible amount of in-game currency! What an incredible milestone—congratulations on this remarkable achievement! The field has now been expanded to accommodate even higher balances. Way to go!

Here is what else has been included into the bug fix patch:

Amidst the wide steppe and the boundless Ukrainian horizons, where the world’s most fertile black soil nurtures life, the tributaries of the Dnipro River flow like veins of vitality, weaving intricate patterns through the landscape. The sunlit fields stretch endlessly, a patchwork of earthy tones is rich with vegetation and teeming with wildlife. These waters, abundant with fish, are a gift of nature—a sacred haven that whispers the timeless stories of generations past. We invite you to cast your line among water lilies and graceful willows in the serene beauty of this cherished waterway.

Dnipro River, Level 46 offers four unique locations to explore: The Delta Fishing Lodge, The Wild Beach, The Reed Cat, and The Poachers’ Side. Yet, the adventure doesn’t end there—feel free to go ashore and discover other hidden gems scattered across the area. With plenty of space to wander, you can take your time exploring the landscapes, uncovering details along the way that we’re sure will capture your attention.

This lively place is teeming with motion, from yachts and barges gliding across the water to ducks swimming and horses wandering nearby, sheep graze peacefully on the slopes, birds soar above, and insects hum in the air. Don't forget to turn on the sound to fully immerse yourself in the atmosphere.

Let’s take a closer look at The Delta Fishing Lodge, a small cozy angler’s base located on the edge of the picturesque Dnipro delta. It offers comfortable hotel rooms to relax after a busy day of fishing. Piers jut out into the water and provide easy access to fishing spots. For guests' convenience, the base offers motorboat and kayak rentals, making it easy to explore the river and find the best fishing spots.


Speaking of boats, experienced anglers were quick to spot a key detail in the first teaser of the new location: the rod holders. Many of you guessed correctly—these holders are designed for freshwater trolling - this update introduces an exciting new fishing method!
On the Dnipro River, the rental boat comes equipped with two rod holders created specifically for trolling with spinning and casting rods. This means that every angler visiting the location can experience freshwater trolling simply by renting this boat.

For those looking to troll across various freshwater locations in the game, the Dnipro Motor Boat is your go-to companion. This locally produced classic boasts an authentic Ukrainian design, embodying the style and craftsmanship of its heritage. Equipped with two rod holders and powered by a 75-horsepower Neptune motor, it delivers stable and efficient performance. The durable construction makes it a reliable choice for anglers who appreciate both functionality and legacy.


When exploring a new location, the variety of fish species is always a key interest for anglers. The Dnipro River map features 32 fish species, including well-known favorites such as Carp, Northern Pike, European Perch, Zander, Wels Catfish, Grass Carp, Silver Carp, and the iconic Beluga Sturgeon.
In addition to these familiar species, the map introduces 7 new ones, expanding the diversity of catches available. Let’s take a closer look at these species and the opportunities they present.


White-Eye Bream is a ray-finned fish species of the Carp family, widespread in many large rivers of Europe and Asia and in drainages of the Black, Caspian, and White seas. These fish prefer to inhabit large, fast-flowing rivers and estuaries.

White-Eye Breams have silvery-gray elongated bodies flat on the sides and dark gray fins. These fish usually grow to a mass of 1-2.2 lb, with the maximum weight of a unique specimen rarely exceeding 3.3 lb. It is a ray-finned fish species of the Carp family, widespread in many large rivers of Europe and Asia and in drainages of the Black, Caspian, and White seas. These fish prefer to inhabit large, fast-flowing rivers and estuaries.

White-Eye Bream feeds on small crustaceans, mollusks, insects, and insect larvae.


Common Nase is a European freshwater fish of the Carp family. Its natural habitat is the drainages of the Black, Baltic, and North Sea, but this migratory fish has also been introduced to other parts of Europe. Common Nase prefer deep, fast-moving waters, where they usually stay in shoals.

Common Nase has a blue-gray or silvery elongated body with an orange tail. Generally, these fish grow to 9-15 inches in length and weigh from 0.6-2.2 lb. However, unique specimens are known to reach up to 3.5 lb in weight.

These bottom-dwelling fish mainly feed on algae and other aquatic plants.


Sterlet is a relatively small species of Sturgeon found in large rivers in Eurasia, particularly the ones flowing into the Black and Azov seas. This valuable commercial fish prefers to inhabit clean rivers with strong currents and cool water, where it likes to hide in deeper areas with sandy bottoms.

The Sterlet has a long, narrow nose with barbels and an elongated triangular-shaped body that is yellowish-gray and covered with bony plates instead of scales. Distinguished from other Sturgeons by their small size, the Sterlet usually weighs between 2 and 13 lb, with unique specimens sometimes weighing up to about 19 lb.


European Weatherfish is a species of Loach widespread in Europe and Asia. It gets its name for coming to the surface and acting excitedly whenever the air pressure changes before a thunderstorm. These fish inhabit still waters of muddy rivers and are resilient to low-oxygen environments.

These small fish are yellowish in coloration, with brown bands stretching along their entire body.

European Weatherfish usually grow to a length of about 12 in and a maximum weight of 0.5 lb.



Chinese Sleeper is a species of freshwater fish widely introduced throughout Northern Eurasia and many European countries. The only known member of its genus, Chinese Sleeper, prefers to inhabit still waterways with plentiful aquatic vegetation and can easily survive even in polluted environments.

Chinese Sleepers resemble Gobies by their shape and overall appearance. These fish have somewhat chubby short bodies with varying coloration that ranges from greyish-green to brown tones with a grey belly and is covered with small spots. During mating season, however, they turn black. The maximum weight of a Chinese sleeper is 1 lb, with most specimens weighing around 0.2-0.7 lb and ranging in body length from 6 to 10 in.

These fish are carnivorous and feed predominantly on invertebrates, larvae, and other small fish, including those of their kind.


The Black Sea Roach is a predatory freshwater fish. It prefers areas of rivers with a fast current, eddies, with clean spring water rich in oxygen. It usually occurs in small groups, sometimes on its own. The silvery gray body of this fish has blue reflections along its sides. They feed on insects, small fish and fry.

The Black Sea Roach is considered a rare and valuable fish.


Azov shad is a freshwater fish of the herring family that adapts to various conditions, including brackish water and sudden temperature changes. From early May, when the water warms up to 59°F, until early June, Azov shad spawns in the Dnipro, seeking the rapid current. Historically, Azov shad has been of significant economic importance for the Kherson region and an essential source of income. People of Kherson simply love this fish!


Yes, you read that right—Monsters, plural! Because two monsters are better than one, aren’t they? Fans of the legendary Sturgeon Leviathan Monster will be thrilled to know it’s staying in the game. Even if you’ve already completed this mission before, you’ll have another chance to catch it.

But the monster tale doesn’t stop there—a brand-new beast is making its debut: the formidable Thorn-Ripper.

This aggressive creature prowls the depths of the Dnipro River, a true survivor hardened by centuries of evolution. Its spikes, razor-sharp and menacing, developed as both a defense mechanism and a weapon to dominate its territory. According to legend, the Thorn-Ripper harbors a grudge against fishermen, its rage fueled by the loss of its family to human nets. Stories tell of this monster ramming boats with its needle-like spikes, leaving behind nothing but shattered hulls and terrified anglers.

Catching the Thorn-Ripper won’t be easy. Cautious and elusive, it can only be lured by something truly extraordinary—like the Wasp Walker, a one-of-a-kind bait designed to tempt even the wariest predator.
We won’t spoil the surprise by showing you what this monster looks like. You’ll just have to discover it for yourself when the battle begins. Good luck, Brave Anglers!


In addition to the baits, lures, and groundbaits already available in the game, new options are on the horizon for anglers to discover. Let’s take a closer look at what’s in store.


Salo, the traditional cured pork fat, is a beloved staple of Ukrainian cuisine. If you know what prosciutto is for Italians and jamon for Spaniards, then you understand what salo means for Ukrainians. Typically salted and sometimes infused with garlic or spices, it can be enjoyed raw, smoked, or cooked. But salo isn’t just a culinary treasure—it’s also an excellent bait for carp fishing. Its dense, fatty texture holds securely on the hook, releasing a tantalizing aroma that Common and Grass Carps find irresistible. This bait shines in warm weather, as the heat helps the fat release its enticing scent.

Salo Generalske, on the other hand, is a more refined, premium version. Enhanced through marinating, smoking, or unique seasonings, this "fancier" salo offers an even richer flavor profile. And just as it would impress diners, it’s sure to drive fish wild with its delectable allure.

And as a small taste of Ukrainian hospitality, take a moment to explore the location—you might stumble upon some free pieces of salo to use as bait.


While not as appetizing to people as salo, the mole cricket is a true delicacy for fish. This insect, with its hard exoskeleton and juicy body, is a natural treat straight from the Ukrainian landscape. Its earthy, organic aroma works wonders in attracting predatory fish. Widely regarded as one of the best baits for Catfish and other large species, the mole cricket is a trusted choice for local Ukrainian anglers, blending tradition with the wisdom of nature.


Thanks to its high flexibility and considerable size, the crawling worm makes an ideal bait for catching large fish. It is effectively used together with different types of hooks, which significantly raises the chances of a successful catch. This bait performs especially well in muddy and overgrown waters, where Catfish dwell and feed. Yummy!

The Cicada is an effective lure designed for fishing at different water depths. Its compact body with front lead weight ensures an accurate and far cast, even in strong winds. The Cicada works great for catching a variety of predatory fish including Bass, Pike, Zander, and Trout thanks to its ability to adapt its vibration to the situation.


The Twerky Runners are new effective crankbaits that have a special hunchbacked shape to ensure a fast, high-frequency wobble. The lure has a special aroma that attracts catfish. Rigged with razor-sharp highest quality hooks, the Twerky Runner is great for trolling and particularly suited for using with more powerful fishing rods. Choose your Twerky Runner from a selection of sizes and colors depending on the fishing conditions and how deep you want to go.


Walkers are surface lures that imitate the movement of a wounded fish, frog, or insect on the water surface. Thanks to their ability to produce a variety of movements, Walkers effectively provoke Perch, Chub, Asp, and other surface predators into attacking.


Bionic Slugs are innovative lures that imitate a fast-moving fish and are made of high-quality silicone. With its realistic shiny scales and a forked tail, this lure mimics a wounded fish to attract predators. Its soft tail moves attractively in the water. The slug is easy to use: just put the hook through its mouth and tighten the line through the metal ring. Suitable for catching various types of fish in both fresh and salt water.


Developed by the world’s top anglers, the Thorn Jig Head proves that the devil is in the details. Small changes lead to significant improvements. The beveled weight provides a louder and clearer impact even on soft ground, while a special plastic spike holds the silicone in place, allowing you to make the retrieve in difficult conditions. The weights are painted in colors visible to fish even at great depths, significantly increasing your chances for a successful catch!


We’re also introducing a variety of new groundbaits, particles, and aromas, but we’d like to highlight a few personal favorites that hold a special place in our hearts. These selections carry a nostalgic charm for our team, reminding us of cherished memories from childhood.

Gingerbread Classic Groundbait has a characteristic sweet aroma and is made with spices, which means it can effectively attract fish even in cold weather. Low cost and high efficiency make this groundbait unique.

Mamalyha, a traditional Ukrainian-style corn porridge similar to Italian polenta, brings a rich, hearty flavor to the table—and to the water. When transformed into feeder bait with added aromas, it becomes an irresistible treat for all kinds of peaceful fish, including Bream and Carp. This time-honored recipe blends tradition with effectiveness, making it a go-to choice for anglers seeking success.

Corn sticks are not only a delicious snack popular in Ukraine, but also a feeder groundbait ideal to use for peaceful fish! It has an attractive texture and smell that ensures fish are active near your fishing spot for a long time.

Baked milk is a classic Ukrainian drink made by slowly baking milk overnight in a cooling traditional stove. This gentle process caramelizes the natural sugars in the milk, giving it a rich, caramel-like aroma. A geyser groundbait infused with baked milk aroma is designed to quickly release its enticing scent into the water, creating a powerful "geyser" effect that draws fish from afar. Especially effective in deep fishing, this chum's sweet fragrance guarantees to capture the attention of nearby fish, ensuring a successful catch.

This location is deeply cherished by the Fishing Planet team, and we've poured all our passion into creating it. The Dnipro River has inspired countless generations, serving as a symbol of Ukraine’s natural beauty and cultural legacy. The esteemed poet Taras Shevchenko captured the river’s essence in his powerful words:

"The mighty Dnipro roars and bellows,
The wind in anger howls and raves,
Down to the ground it bends the willows,
And mountain-high lifts up the waves."

These vivid lines not only highlight the river's grandeur but also convey its wild, untamed energy, which contrasts beautifully with the calm and peaceful experience that awaits you. As you explore this iconic waterway, you’ll follow the path of generations who’ve found inspiration, sustenance, and a deep connection to nature along its banks. Welcome to our home and enjoy your stay!
